Need a passionate, energetic, and fiery red tone to brighten your residential or commercial space? At Wise Dublin Painting Contractors, we aim to provide you with fun and enjoyable activities and projects to keep you occupied while staying indoors. Our Dublin painters and decorators wish to continue inspiring you with ideas, tips, and advice for your painting and decorating needs. Following the success of our previous blog on brightening your space with our favourite shades of yellow, we’re back with more! Are you a massive fan of the colour red and its fiery characteristics? Here are our favourite energetic red tones for your home painting and decorating projects!
Radicchio – Farrow & Ball
Radicchio is a modern and vibrant red, representing and reflecting the crimson leaves. This earthy tone provides a beautiful accent colour when painting your residential dream space and is equally stunning for decorating, such as painting furniture and creating accent walls. This red paint colour is ideal for a contemporary look and design, especially when paired with a warm, neutral colour palette.
Caliente – Benjamin Moore
Want to create a statement dining room or living area? This beautiful, rich tone from Benjamin Moore provides the right amount of sophistication and luxury for painting and decorating. Soft enough to use for painting an entire room, yet striking enough to wow any guest. This red paint colour works perfectly with crisp white or bright colours and creates an atmospheric setting with darker hues. Its name ‘Caliente’ truly reflects the vibrant atmosphere it provides!
Bronze Red – Little Greene
If you are achieving the ‘Eclectic Glamour’ look and need a mix of red to add to your colour scheme, Little Greene’s Bronze Red is a shade to die for in painting and decorating! Our residential painters and decorators believe this shade works anywhere, making a statement in a living room or reception area. We love its bronze undertone, which works exceptionally well when painting wall panelling.
Salsa Red – Dulux UK
Salsa Red is a rich, vibrant, and majestic tone that will add spice to any residential interior space, as suggested by the name. This deep tone, resembling the shade of chilli, is designed to impress and make a powerful statement in any room. Why not combine it with the neutral tone ‘Scent Bottle’? This would work flawlessly in a bedroom, creating energy and motivation!
Blazer - Farrow & Ball
Are you looking for a red that leans closer to an orange tone? Farrow & Ball’s brilliant Blazer is the comforting red paint colour you seek, rich and soft. Create a regal and cheerful space by adding this terracotta hue to a living area with a fireplace, or highlighting furnishings with a pop of colour. Our painters and decorators confirm this is a popular choice for residential painting and decorating.
Bull’s Eye Red - Benjamin Moore
If you require an intense shade, nothing screams high-spirits and vibrancy like Benjamin Moore’s Bull’s Eye Red. This dominant and powerful painting and decorating colour is sure to be the statement tone when used in architectural details, creating a focal point within your Dublin home. Our residential painters and decorators encourage anyone to use this shade when wanting a room to stand out and add a punch to the space; it’s named Bull’s Eye Red for a reason!
Rectory Red - Farrow & Ball
Our residential painting and decorating team couldn’t leave without mentioning Rectory Red, a red which radiates sophistication and warmth to the cosiness of your interior and home. The definition of a warm welcoming, this red paint colour intensifies small spaces and makes excellent statements in large ones. Residential painting and decorating companies recommend this shade, and we agree it should be one to add to the list.
